The gang was targeted after it "caused a tremendous amount of violence because of the drug trade," said Chicago FBI chief Robert Grant via the SouthtownStar. According to the feds, planned homicides were disrupted due to the investigation.

Garcia was arrested in late December in the city of Tamazula, leaving only four fugitives at large. Mexican authorities then turned him over to federal authorities in Houston, Texas. He is accused of overseeing the distribution of cocaine and firearms throughout Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
